Emacs (naturally), with org-mode[1]. ssh replication along with the mobile org-mode app on Android [2] meets all my needs. [1] http://orgmode.org http://orgmod

  How do you use MobileOrg? I've tried several times. It's hard to tell what works (capture widget?), how to use the parts that do work, and how to use it effectively. I paid for the 'donate' app with no real intent of using it further -- just a "thanks for trying" donation.

    Hmm, I haven't had much issue with it, although the functionality is pretty bare bones, I don't use the capture widget thingy... no need to. I can create and transition (todo) items in my existing .org files, use the agenda, and that's about as complicated as I want to get on my phone. For anything more, I use my laptop where I can take advantage of all the proper org-mode functionality. It might come down to how you use org-mode, as well. I create a .org file for each client/project. If I'm using org-mode to write a document (beats markdown IMO), I'll create a separate file and store it in the client/project registry (my own mgt system, outside of org-mode scope but implemented with org-mode knowledge). Having lots of relatively sparse but easily identifiable (and discoverable) .org files makes mobileorg quite usable, for me. ps: I see you commented on org-mode elsewhere in this topic. I also make heavy use of a notepad (unlined paper please - you're not the boss of me!), but prefer pencil to pen. I have about 6 or so high quality pencils I keep on high rotation, nice and sharp courtesy of a burr sharpener.
